Solution

The correct option is C its bond energy is high
Antimarkownikoff's addition takes place in the presence of $H_{2} O_{2}$ and the formation of free radicals take place. But in case of $H C l$ , the $H - C l$ bond has very high energy and large amount of energy is required for the formation of $H$ and $C l$ free radicals, hence the reaction is endothermic. Such large amount of energy is not available and formation of free radicals does not take place.
